Clueless Joe Strikes Again!!!!

It ain't over till it's over and if Clueless Joe has anything to do with it, it might as well be over. Yes AJ gave up 4 runs in the first inning and until the Yankees 6 run rally in the 7th, would have in my opinion been the blame for the loss. But, thanks to Clueless Joe for another dramatic come from ahead loss. I really guess it is more important to try and prove you are a baseball "genius" (which you STILL have A LOT to prove) instead of winning a postseason game and winning the AL Pennant. AJ to start the 7th after being rocked in the 1st and struggling the whole game, when DRob the most effective reliever other than Rivera, was in the pen? After the game, Clueless Joe said about AJ "he was throwing the ball so well. He put up five shutout innings. He had only thrown 80 pitches. And we just liked what we saw from him and we stuck with him." Throwing the ball well??? Are you kidding me? 4 runs on 21 pitches was "throwing the ball well"? Maybe in BP, but NOT in a key Game 5 with a World Series appearance on the line!! What game was Girardi watching, or was he too busy looking into his 36" "book" for more "match-ups"? AJ struggled the WHOLE game and why he stuck with him past the first is a mystery to me. Pinch run for A-Rod and Matsui in the 9th? What if this goes extra innings? You REALLY want to lose A-Rod and Matsui's bat? From the time they announced his hiring, I was not a Girardi fan, and he has done nothing to change my opinion of him as being an incompetent manger of the most storied franchise in all of sports, period. This team has won 103 games this year, but remember, 51 have had to be come from behind victories, that is 49.5% of our wins in the regular season have been snatched from the jaws of defeat. That means almost half of the Yankees regular season wins have been come from behind victories. Does anyone believe the Yankees have that bad of a team to be close to losing 51 of those 103 wins? The Yankees have won this year IN SPITE of Girardi and for two games in this LCS, the Yankees bats were not able to cover up Clueless Joe's mistakes. It all has to do with managing and mostly due in part to poor managing of players and game situations by Clueless Joe, this series is headed back to New York where, honestly, the Yankees MUST win Game 6. Joe Girardi is a complete and utter idiot. The responsibility for this loss as well as Game 3 is all on Girardi.
